Biography
Omar Ismael Mostefai was born on 21 November 1985 in Courcouronnes, France, 20 miles south of Paris, to a family of Sunni Muslim Algerians. In 2004 he acquired a criminal record and was flagged as a radical Islamist in 2010, but he was never arrested by the French government. He was a young father by 2015, when he decided to take part in the Islamic State's plans to launch Mumbai-style coordinated attacks across Paris. Along with Bilal Hadfi and Ahmad Almuhammad, he was one of the gunmen at the Bataclan theatre, where the terrorists took hostages and killed 87 people. He detonated his suicide vest when police arrived and engaged in a shootout, and he was identified by his severed finger.
